Previous administration Dominions is a fantasy turn-based war game created by two dudes. One of them is a teacher.
The game combines a simple presentation with an extremely wide array of strategic options, including over 2800 units, 800 spells and 300 magic items. Turns are resolved simultaneously, with players planning battles rather than directly controlling them.
It has simplistic graphics but is easily moddable and extremely deep.
Basically, it's an autist’s wet dream of a war game.

I honestly don't get what's up with the democrat thread pics
Michael Butler
I don't think anyone does.
Lucas Butler
I'm surprised we haven't rustled more jimmies with it, good to be on a laid back board.
Jace White
I don't think people really give a damn.
Besides that, thoughts on nazca? I haven't seen it played in a while, and have no idea how to play them. Any pro tips?
Matthew Clark
With the nerf to supaya-summoning they're kinda shit. Still, I'm interested in playing them too.
Adrian Lee
>Kinda shit because I have to literally do something now rather then just spam supaays all day t. scrub
Jacob Hill
Malliqui can cast while being communion slaves, but only on linux systems, so you can set a group of them as both masters and slaves for a bunch of big spells, and confuse anyone on windows and mac.
Jonathan Gonzalez
you can still script them no matter the OS, you just won't see it. LLamaserver will though because it's linux.
Gavin Collins
Royal Malqui are amazing, but also expensive as all fuck. Still, if you get a bunch of them summoning Supayas every turn you can quickly form flying death squads with them. Take a heavy bless (W9 or B9 at least IMO) and you can potentially dominate the midgame with your Supayas even though they were nerfed (beore the nerf they were insane) after a somewhat shakey early game. Apart from the Malqui, their mages are ok to good ,but not terribly efficient. Still, they get the job done well enough and when they die they reincarnate as Malqui (and get an insane upkeep cost to boot, but that's a price you should be prepared to pay), so that's pretty sweet.
Their regular units aren't very good at all, so expansion can be a bit rocky depending on what you're up against. I personally like to get some of the cheap Malqui types (forgot the name) early on because they can gather slaves really fast. Slaves are shit units with goddamn awful morale, but you can get enough of them without spending any money to be a serious help to your expansion. Later on you'll want to switch to using mainly Supayas and summons, because as said their regular units aren't any good. Their sacreds are ok though, especially assuming you already have a good bless for your Supaya spam.
Jeremiah Johnson
What the hell
Wyatt Gomez
Don't forget: Turn 1 recruit non-mage mummy commander Turn 2 make him prophet Turn 3 get your first supayas
On turn 8 you can probably expand using a hurin priest and 10 supayas if you took an acceptable bless.
Jose Sanders
For some unknown reason, probably a weird programming quirk, there are some subtle differences in the way Dominions resolves battles between the Linux version and other versions.
This also explains why sometimes watching a battle gives you a different outcome than what the battle report suggests. Since the games are hosted on Llamaserver and Llamaserver uses Linus, people who are on Windows or Mac see a different version of the truth when they watch the battle, but since battles are resolved by the host, only Llama's result counts, which is what the battle report is based on.
Elijah Diaz
Any unit with 'innate spellcaster' will cast while being a communion slave. You do not lose the communion slave effect just because you are also a slave. This means that 4 mallqui priests get +2 to each path and share buffs (so only one needs to cast PotS and Earthpower for all of them to get it). This gets better when you can combine it with soul vortex to give all of them infinite fatigue too.
Adam Howard
So you could, say, get eight of them, give them a Crystal Matrix each, have them cast Communion Slave, and go fucking nuts?
That's ridiculous.
Luis Butler
In summod it's cheaper to use a slave matrix and have them cast master, but yes.
also worth noting that you can do it with the non-astral mummies, but they need both master and slave matrices to do it.
Cooper Brooks
They got lotsa slots, you could give them both master and slave matrices and have it all set up t0
Leo Flores
You can, and it is.
Mallqui are amazing, their only drawbacks are that their upkeep is insane and their mobility is garbage in a nation that's mostly flying stuff. It's just that the rest of the nation is mediocre at best and one exploitable gimmick doesn't make them OP. Also, you usually want your Mallquis busy summoning Supayas instead of being on the front lines.
Colton Perry
Are they not universally Teleport capable?
Oliver Kelly
ScrubWarriors is full.
Jackson Wood
You don't need to use just royal mallquis. Your mainline battlemage is the hurin priest, and a third of them have S randoms. You can also use the matrix thing to get mallqui priestesses and non-S randoms into your haxploit communions
Jacob Hernandez
Magic phase movement is nice, but it's very awkward for moving with an army.
Jackson Cooper
Also remembert to earthpower and pos your master-slaves.
Oliver Butler
why would i give my master-slaves the aids virus
Caleb Williams
They're undead, so disease doesn't affect them.
Asher Evans
Soul Drain is AoE Caster. Who the fuck needs an army?
Isaac Lopez
and soul vortex and phoenix pyre
Nathan Garcia
It's a battlefield enchant, so it doesn't stack
Austin Howard
Soul vortex with lamias guarding commander. It works every time.

how do i acces all the mod which was in Desura now that Desura is kill??
Adrian Clark
You really need to start remembering to include the name of the game when you're trying to turnbully.
150% resources, Difficult research, Gryphons nerfed out of usability
Liam Hall
Oh shit VARN has S1 watch out
David Carter
I don't know what Varn has truly, it could be S1 or S9 for all I know, all I know is that he cheated, so why don't we go ahead and fix that.
Nicholas Cox
It might not actually be cheating but the admin should take a look at it for sure. Also someone didn't properly check their nation and is having issues anyway, so might as well restart.
Adrian Bailey
Kitsune are surely the best gem mage summon.
Blake Lewis
Never played modnat but don't you people test them before starting or something?
Jackson Bell
I think VARN was using an older version of the mod to make his pretender, He told me about how the mod's pretender costs hadn't been updated and he was getting the old 40/60 point or 120 point pretenders as opposed to the new 200+ point costs
Henry Richardson
I unstarted the game, see thread, but tl:dr will fix the stuff and start again when I get home in ~12h. Not sure what VARN's issue is, but probably like said, a version mismatch.
Levi Gutierrez
all tied up in snek eater
Samuel Jackson
I don't give a FUCK about the issues, show me the pretender names for my daily meme dosage and it better be fucking good, mod nations means memes squared.

The constant extensions for Pelagia are getting really annoying. Anyone else want to help fund R'lyeh in killing them so these will go faster?
Hudson Morris
t. R'lyeh
Benjamin Brown
If it happens again, I'll just be setting myself ai. I busted my ass getting a turn in this morning before work, and had to run to avoid being late. This is shitty badminning.
Blake Martin
In that case I will be going AI as well.
Ryder Lewis
The first time I extended for Ulm, when he asked The second time was for Agartha, who also asked.
Not entirely sure what's up with Pelagia, but apparently I'll need to much stingier on the amount of time I postpone for.

All that shittalk from sauro on how he's kicking so much ass and he's still half the size of Abysia. And has been losing provinces. heh.
Cameron Garcia
>can't hear the sound of the phone ringing over the turn ???
Hunter White
New MA game. Standard settings except for 2 province start and increased gems (raised to 50).
It does not make sense for popkill nations to eventually lose income because of the lack of province population
You literally have free spawning slaves that can work endlessly. Just use those to produce goods for both use & export.
Jack Sullivan
>Mahou Shoujo Melanoma Magika Yamato?
Brody Perry
Nobody wants to buy your cheap skeleton running shoes
Jayden Sullivan
Notice how Abysia didn't gain provinces and somehow it was him that is winning against me. Abysia must suck some serious cock at reading and comprehending graphs. maybe it was fucking indie event

how is a game with 6 players generating this much drama?

Dumb nigga attacking into cold 3 as C'tis
Like you gotta be proper silly to do that
Alexander Ramirez
Given that all of their neighbors are cold, it's not dumb when they have no other options.
Nicholas Baker
Forgot my name.
Liam Gutierrez
You should switch to the newest version of summod, 0.69 went up at the start of the week.
Alexander Brown
Ok. Didn't see it on llama. Any gamebreaking bugs in that version to take note of?
Brody Perry
caelum you in here? we had some minor spooks
Camden Perez
Hey, don't knock it 'till you try it. I think I might be onto something.
I'd say "I may have miscalculated" but this is my first time playing C'tis and even I was pretty sure it was a mistake. I'm not sure that counts as calculation.
Zachary Martin
Test version. Actual version will be 0.7 once I finish Ur.
It's not on llama because I didn't put it up.
Brody Carter
You could try to spin it and say, "Yep, exactly what I thought would happen but for the sake of scientific theory I had to check to make sure."

Ayden Carter
Sauro expert here. Another Sauro game, another win.
I have learnt a very important lesson this game. Tarts (EF in particular) are op as fuck.
Here are the graphs for fattened calf in case anyone is wondering.

How the fuck did you morons let Cirno win a game?

They had no chance, I allied myself with R'lyeh.

He made a good effort, but he had to contest with 12 kitted tarts roaming his lands.

REEEEEE I'VE LOST EVERYTHING I FUCKING CRAFTED
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Owen Gutierrez
I had to clear my inventory bro
Lincoln Garcia
Bro, you had like 30+ turns of opportunity to destroy the items instead of sending them back. You were just asking for this to happen someday.
